texte = If they owned the domain previosly and they currently do business under the same name, you should be able to win a UDRP action claiming that the domain name now infringes your (friends) trademarks that he's established through his company... Because this current outfit has no claim to the name except the fact that they registered it with the explicit intent of selling it. But, that will take a long time, and would require you to hire an attorney, and it costs $1,500 just to file a UDRP action so I dunno if it's worth it to you. I am not an attorney, but I did actually lose a name in a UDRP dispute because it was the other company's trade name, and they said that they were entitled to have the domain because it was the name of their company.=20 > -----Original Message----- > From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On=20 > Behalf Of Sal D'Anna > Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 10:35 AM > To: WebDNA Talk > Subject: Re: [OT] Theiving B*****ds >=20 >=20 > Charge it on your credit card.
